This paper proposes a novel methodology tailored to design embedded systems, taking into account the emerging market needs, such as hw/sw partitioning, object-oriented specifications, overall design costs and early analysis of design alternatives. The proposal tackles the problem by considering UML as the starting point for system-level description and uses a customization of function point analysis and COCOMO to provide cost metrics both for hardware and software. Finally, a genetic algorithm is used to select the best candidate architecture. The paper also reports some results, obtained from case studies, showing the viability of the proposed approach

Abstract
This paper proposes a novel methodology tailored to design embedded systems, taking into account the emerging market needs, such as hw/sw partitioning, object-oriented specifications, overall design costs and early analysis of design alternatives. The proposal tackles the problem by considering UML as the starting point for system-level description and uses a customization of function point analysis and COCOMO to provide cost metrics both for hardware and software. Finally, a genetic algorithm is used to select the best candidate architecture. The paper also reports some results, obtained from case studies, showing the viability of the proposed approachFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
